Michael, Chief Educator and Futurist at ACF

"ACF is changing the world by showing young people how to fill the limitless demand for technical skills of the 21st century today and tomorrow."

WILLIAM, Student

ACF has been not only an immensely enjoyable experience but a rewarding and difference-making experience as well, whether that be working on an innovative new idea, helping to mentor new programmers, or offering support to fellow students. ACF has taught me essential skills to succeed, including both 'hard skills' like programming and 'soft skills' like teamwork, communication, and cooperation, truly crucial skills that will be immensely valuable no matter where my future takes me.

John, @AstrumU

Applied Computing Foundation is, I believe, what we need more of in every community but, more importantly, across the state and nation.

Only through continued collaboration and partnership across sectors can we see progress and recovery to address STEM skills shortages and must bolster new funding mechanisms for these types of programs.

In doing so, we can improve the likelihood of a more diverse, productive public service and a new generation of the civic-minded STEM workforce. The spirit of Innovation exemplified by the next generation at ACF has proven to be one that delivers not only positive outcomes for lifelong learners but also can serve to foster better services to citizens in our community. I hope that, in turn, our government shall gain greater trust and confidence of a grateful nation in funding and support of this type of programming and ultimately thus affords us all a more equitable, diverse, and effective workforce.

As part of our Civic Corporate Responsibility at AstrumU, we are proud and excited to promote the fantastic work and learning experiences being developed in this most exceptional program that only serves to accelerate learning and development in our youth across a diverse spectrum to bolster the US STEM Workforce.

 

-- keep up the great work!
